Bodacious buns and gorgeous shimmering lids at Vera Wang's Spring 2011 fashion show at New York Fashion Week, set the tone for the designer's feminine collection inspired by the film "In the Mood for Love."

MAKEUP: Lucia Pieroni for Clé de Peau
HAIR: Jimmy Paul for Bumble and Bumble
NAILS: Myrdith Leon-McCormack for Sally Hansen
SNAPSHOT: Delicate Darlings

THE SCOOP: For Vera Wang's Spring 2011 collection, the beauty teams perfected looks that were all about enhancing the natural gorgeousness of each model. Lead makeup artist Lucia Pieroni wanted the girls to have simple, porcelain-like skin accentuated with shimmering eye makeup that draws you right in. "The sparkle is like having diamonds in your ears," said Pieroni.

Hairstylist Jimmy Paul worked in more of an Asian influence by fashioning gargantuan, teased-to-the-max geisha-like chignons and French Twists that were more than a bit undone. And manicurist Myrdith Leon-McCormack rounded out the look by lacquering the models' digits in a pearlized nail polish by Sally Hansen.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Clé de Peau Beauté. Smooth on Fluid Correct Foundation to create a luminous, yet matte glow. Skip the eyeliner and brush on Eye Color Quad #207, applying the pearl hue into the center of the lids and the taupe shade on the outer corners. Fill in brows to create a straight natural shape. And finish the look with Extra Rich Lipstick in T4 (Velvety Beige).

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All hair products by Bumble and Bumble. Prep strands with Surf Spray and rough dry the hair. Create a deep side part and tease the entire head to make it rough and messy. Secure into a large French Twist or chignon and set with Does It All Styling Spray.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: Nails by Sally Hansen. Buff and file nails into a "squoval" shape. Apply one layer of a clear base coat and then two coats of Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color in Brilliant Blush.
